They technically don’t owe you anything — but be insanely forward and nice and introduce yourself instead!

You have the choice— you don’t be the coward!

If I could create the best gym on the planet, what would it look like?

The true secret to gaining a “creative monopoly” (Peter Thiel, ZERO TO ONE)

For example, seeking a satisfactory fitness workout concept?

Onto the next one!

And no you don’t need any of this nonsensical water. Tapwater is fine.

Real men drink tapwater?

Also, perhaps a lot of modern day maladies are due to under nutrition, and also under hydration.

For example, if you were insanely insanely rich and you lived in Los Angeles, best you just have your private driver drive you around, Uber everywhere, or maybe better yet… use Tesla auto pilot.

Just listen to your body!

For example, when I am insanely cold and frigid, what my body needs is a really really hot sauna, maybe hot yoga, or soaking in a really really hot bath.

Some very pragmatic thoughts:

1. Wellness

Waking up this early morning, with cold dreary overcast, no sun, and now, basking in the direction sun, what am I thinking about? Some pragmatic thoughts; how much I love the sun. The first general thought is that without the sun, none of it is worth it.

For example, I really love the way that the V train 2.0 looks — like armored Batman!

I prefer the EL X model— now available in knit.

The insanely hot sauna!!

Bayes, bayes thinking; the general idea is that you always adjust and make decisions based on the most immediate information that you have right now. For example, in regards to health. Sometime you might want to be in the hot sauna, on the days that it is dark murky and unpleasant, and other days you might just want to be out in the sun, sunbathing if the sun is good!

Always make decisions and decide based on the most immediate information that you have available right now!

When or where do I think better? I like big open plazas, the sun, and big spacious gyms.

I don’t care about the cold; I just need the sunlight!

Sometimes I prefer the ghetto grungy and gritty, sometimes I prefer up scale. When is ghetto better?

First, the pollution and climate. Even if you were a trillionaire, you would not want to live in China. Why? The weather is horrendous. It doesn’t matter if you have all the money in the world, without clean air, clear blue skies, greenery, and sun, none of it is worth it. Just think of Dr. Seuss, and the Lorax.

Second, America is starting to slowly become more antagonistic towards China. My thought is that Vietnam is a more friendly trade partner than China.

Third, innovation. China is really good at copying and producing things, not innovating things out of her own accord. Even consider Polestar; essentially it is a Chinese car company, but, they bought out Volvo, and the Swedes in order to innovate. This is not true innovation!

Also, note and consider how all the Chinese phone companies are effectively dead. Nobody wants to buy a Chinese phone, not even the rich mainland Chinese people. They would all prefer to have iPhones, iPhone pros. Even consider Vietnam; the noveau rich has zero interest in owning a Huawei phone, or anything like that. They all want the newest, most expensive luxury iPhone!

The future is America, Vietnam, South Korea, maybe Cambodia?

Unsuccessful people drive German cars. For example, Unsuccessful people drive Audis, BMWs, or even worse, a Volkswagen.

Successful people drive Priuses, white Honda Odysseys if they have a family, or better yet, don’t even drive or own a car.

Perhaps what I want is actually to spend more time with other people, to spend more time being social?

Maybe this is my passion?

For example, my passion in street photography is all about the social challenges?

Also, my passion about the gym is the social challenges? Also, the reason I loved college so much is for the social challenges?

Lifting very very heavy weights.

“The gym should be a place to go to have fun!“ – Joe Gold

The gym should be a fun social club?

Things which I love but have poor durability:

1. Vibram 5 fingers EL X model: Literally the only “ shoes” I wear, but after hard-core daily use and hard-core walking, they fall apart relatively quickly.

Going to a gym, choosing a gym … more about the environment and vibes and facilities and amenities than anything else?

A funny observation; why is it that no personal trainers really look that fit?

My primary and end goal passion!
